Pricing for the Gear watches is pretty standard, with $369 for the camera-equipped Gear 2, and $249 for the camera-less Gear 2 Neo, but if you don’t want the watch and prefer the look of Samsung’s first smartband, the wearable known as the Galaxy Fit, that will be available on a plan.

Specifically, Telstra is telling us the Samsung Gear Fit will be available in store from April 11 for $249, or for $10 per month over 24 months provided you’re on an eligible mobile plan.

As far as we understand it, that’s basically a two year plan for a fitness accessory.

Now we’ve had some experience with fitness bands, though not necessarily Samsung’s one at this point.

In any case, we had the Jawbone Up for a while, and while that was — like the Gear Fit — water and dust resistant, it didn’t like to be used in the shower, and we’ve had problems with it in the past, just like many other people out there.

But maybe the Fit is built even better — it’s totally possible — and with the curved AMOLED screen, it certainly fits the bill for comparing it to a smart watch.

The point is that two years is a long time, and it’s already hard enough to expect a phone to last this long, so is it plausible to expect a wearable that you’re not supposed to take off to last the same amount of time?

We asked Telstra if it thought the Fit could last two years on a plan, but at the time of of publishing the article, we hadn’t heard back.

Here’s hoping the device can survive two years in use on a person. But if it were us and you were thinking of going down this path, we’d probably buy it outright just in case it breaks well before the two year mark.

The GadgetGuy kitchen is always pumping out all sorts of things, there’s never enough space for every object that makes cooking all the things possible, and that’s where a “multi-cooker” comes in handy.

Budget gadgets

Mobile World Congress is just around the corner, and that means a whole slew of new phones are on the way, but if you don’t need top tier gear and are looking for a budget handset, Telstra is joining in with a little something of its own for its 4GX network.
